Game Over

Chapter 4

Few days have passed and everything seems to be fine. Right now I'm sitting at the lunch table talking with the girls. We were talking when the cafeteria doors open loudly.

Pulling our attention to whoever slammed the doors. I saw an absolutely handsome man walking. And then Enzo walking behind.

" Hey Gia!" Enzo waved. I waved back. They walked up to our table and sat down. My eyes were drawn to the other guy. Both staring at one another. Never daring to look away.

It wasn't until Enzo snaps his fingers and told the other guy to introduce himself. He clears his throat before speaking.

"Ciao, sono Riccardo. Ma puoi chiamarmi Ricky." ( Hello, I'm Riccardo. But you can call me Ricky.) He smiled.

" Giavanna."

I smiled back. " So Gia, what are you doing later?" Vittoria asked. I shrugged in response. " How about we go on a road trip to our summer house this weekend, since we get a couple days off from school." Vittoria asked.

" Sure, sounds really fun. Will all of you guys be there?" I asked everyone at the table. " Of course, it's a tradition within our family. And you are part of it too! So you are going!" Enzo said proudly. I laughed.

" So when do we leave?" I asked. " Well it's by the ocean. But we will leave in the morning tomorrow so we can be there before it's dark." Ricky responded. I nodded.

" Why can't we take a plane?" I genuinely asked. " Well we like to drive there, that way we have a better view of the landscape view. And we can connect and have more time with each other. Even though by the end of the drive we all are annoyed by each other." Sara said.

"Oh okay, I guess that seems better than a plane." I added. They all nodded. After school had ended I drove home and started packing. After finishing packing and my homework, I collapsed in bed and fell asleep. I woke up instantly to my phone blaring a musical tone. Picking up my phone I saw that it was an unknown number.

"Hello?" I asked groggily.

" Giavanna you better get you big ass down here in the next five minutes or I'm leaving with or without you."

I didn't even bother to ask who it was. I raced out of bed and put some comfy clothes on quickly. Grabbing my blanket and bags before racing out of my room, towards the kitchen. I grabbed a bag with food and place the straps of it in my mouth and ran out the door. Waving goodbye to my parents.

I see the guys outside my driveway. I could hear them laughing. I grunted and kept walking. "Under 5 minutes. Impressive." Ricky said laughing. I grunted and hit him with a bag. I got in the van and chose shotgun. They let me have it because of the trouble they cause. And because I called dibs on it too.

We were singing to songs when one of my favorite songs came on. " heart beats fast,colors and promises,how to be brave-" I started to softly sing the song. I looked to my left and saw Ricky singing too. I smiled. In a way, it felt like he was singing to me. But that would be crazy. Right?

After the song I fell asleep. I was woken up to me in a pair of arms. I looked up to see that I was in the arms of Ricky. I quickly closed my eyes again.
Hoping to stay and keeps being comfy.

" Should we put her on the couch?" I heard Enzo ask. " No, she's comfy here." Ricky responded. I mentally smiled. I felt safe in his arms. And he smelt good. Oh yea. He smelled good. Really good. I opened my eyes to see him looking down at me.

"Hi."

"Hi."

I giggled and closed my eyes again. This time, not attending on to eavesdrop. And soon, I fell asleep in Ricky's arms.

" You like her don't you?"

" Not even a full day, and I have already developed feelings for her."

" She is one of them you know."

" That won't stop me. Nothing will."
